Pedestrian killed on Route 28 in Olive

The Daily Freeman reports that 80-year-old Dorothea Denman, former owner of the Olivebridge Florist, was struck by a car and killed Friday afternoon on Route 28 in Olive, near her home at 9 Sunkist Lane.

From the Freeman's story:

The accident, which happened at 1:15 p.m., took place in front of Denman’s home and next to her mailbox, he said.

Tedd Denman said his mother would often go out to gather flowers near the road.

“She loved them. They were her life,” he said.

New York State Police did not respond to a request from the Watershed Post for more information, saying only that they were working on a news release. But investigator Peter Kusminsky told the Freeman that no charges have been filed against the driver of the car, 73-year-old Lea Ceria of New York City.
